| Can LTNS tell us whether there are any tea plants at the Eden and whether these yield buds up to the Greggs standard? |

Greggs sell Tetley Tea.
So it is a Tetley Standard you are talking about.
Unlike American Starbucks who have their own dodgy brand of tea bag. |

That is as glib as the Olivier movie of Hamlet declaring that it is a play about a man who could not make up his mind when in fact, as we know, matters Danish and Greggs - not to mention a Danish from Greggs - have such ramifications as they take their place in the scheme of things which is the human situation.
It is frankly surprising that LTNS did not take cognisance of this when unleashing the hot topic of Greggs. |

Indeed it is and a reliable source has informed me that Harvey Nichols will be opening their flagship brighton store in the london road and it's all thanks to greggs smartening up the image of the area. Apparently the move to push the price of tea up to 75p a cup demonstrated that your average london road shopper is in fact rather well heeled and can easily afford that little bit more cash in the turbulent world of cheap tea and buns.

This is great news to draw the Bona Foodie, Real Eating, Carluccio,

When Harvey Nichols moves in, won't a smart boutique make Greggs an offer it can't refuse and move out, taking its tea with it?
Apparently the best stretch limos always have a hamper from Greggs to go with the 3-for-2 cava. |

Greggs is a market place that
is nothing like Nichols.
The Builders building any new store for any company in that road
will enjoy the good prices from Greggs.

The Harvey Nichols builders might feel shortchanged by Greggs and turn nasty. There could be some arrests.
This sandwich-reviewing (!) site states "too much money, not enough tuna".
In a world where there is so much Greggs spin, thank goodness there are some peopel to point out its shortcomings. The firm will have to pull its socks up if it 's going to make a go of the King Alfred Tea Dome.

Alas, in what appears to be move to boost their wollie green crednetials, Greggs have opted to use dolphin friendly tuna. Unfortunately the most popular way of catching dolphin friendly tuna just means using fishing nets with dolphin size holes, ensuring that not only do all the dolphins escape but half the tuna as well. This could explain the half measures on the tuna. It is also quite possible that the sweetcorn is from a can and not from a big green man. |

If Pelagia has no desire to be informed of the myriad activities which Greggs - started by LTNS - promotes among the community, then Pelagia is free to continue study of Greek huts and Egyptian inscriptions. That is all to the good.
Had there been a Greggs back then, any surviving artefacts, such as its renowned "breakfast menu" and dodgy i-Pod "promotion", would now be the subject of scholarly study, international conferences and publication of highly priced monographs.
This topic cannot help being ahead of its time. |

Is there no limit to Greggs's generosity.
For those with asbestos stomachs, there is a loyalty card. Spend £2.99 five times, and the sixth one is free. Who knows, you might also pick up an i-Pod along the way and if you have signed up for the other form be on the way to Mauritius!
Have sausage roll, will travel!

Health warning!
I knew we were all right not to take LTNS's claims lying down.
There is something called Greggs syndrone.
It is a form of rubella, a contagious viral diease similar to measles.
No wonder they have to give away iPods and trips to Mauritius to sell the stuff if there is such a risk from eating it. |

| According to the latest scientific report conducted by the established and current Mr P, tea must be left to brew for 4 minutes exactly in order to reap the full benefit thereof. Furthermore, the addition or failure to add sugar or "real" milk will have no effect either way. Link supplied if required, but may have to seek divorce first. |
